That's a fairly optimistic reading from Panasonic's point of view. Still, you have a point. The LX series are lovely cameras to use. If the LX8 can match the IQ of the RX100, then they could steal significant market form Sony. It's hard to imagine the LX8 no being a good seller unless they really mess something up.
I am scoring one of these pocket rockets!
Love the specs on the Mk 3, but I had a hard time negotiating my hand/fingers around the MK 2. Loved the image quality, but use-ability for me was a downer.
Yup, what they're basically saying is that the DRO modes don't work as well as they could, and they counter that by manually underexposing a bit.What do you think of the idea DPReview has on page 10, with underexposing the image to preserve highlights and then using DRO to balance the exposure?
Basicly it corresponds to Fuji's DR200 option on my X100 where they underexpose by -1EV (by shooting at a higher ISO) and then bring up the rest to balance.
I tried it out on the previous models and it works pretty well I think, the RX100 is pretty fast to clip the highlights with the multi metering and this is an easy way to improve on that.
